O come, O come, Emmanuel,
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear

Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel!

O come, Thou Dayspring, come and cheer
Our spirits by Thine advent here
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night
And death’s dark shadows put to flight.

O come, Thou Rod of Jesse, free
Thine own from Satan’s tyranny
From depths of hell Thy people save
And give them victory o’er the grave.

O come, Desire of nations, bind
All peoples in one heart and mind.
Bid envy, strife, and quarrels cease
Fill the whole world with heaven’s peace.

Christmas has its cradle
Where a Baby cried
Did the lantern's shadow
Show Him crucified
Did He foresee darkly
His life's willing loss
Christmas has its cradle
And Easter has its cross

Christmas has its cradle
Shepherds came to see
Little Son of Mary
Lamb of God to be
Had His Father warned Him
None would grant Him room
Save in the Christmas cradle
And in the Easter tomb

Christmas has its cradle
Wise men came to bring
Myrrh and gold and incense
Off'rings for a King
Myrrh alone stayed with Him
Death's balm for this Boy
From the Christmas cradle
And to His Easter joy

Christmas has its cradle
Where that Baby cried
In the Easter garden
Christ lay crucified
When death's pow'r was conquered
God's life through Him poured
Christmas has its cradle
And Easter has its Lord

All nations clap your hands
And unto God in triumph shout!
How awesome is the LORD Most High,
Great King the earth throughout!
Beneath our feet He has subdued
The nations all about!
Praises sing! Sing your praises unto God! Sing His praise!
Lift your voices and sing praises to our King!

He chose us as our inheritance
Our homeland there is found
He gave us this in Jacob
Unto whom His love abounds.
God has ascended in the midst
Of shouts and joyful sounds!
Praises sing! Sing your praises unto God! Sing His praise!
Lift your voices and sing praises to our King!

The LORD ascended while the
Trumpets rang with happy tone!
For God is King of all the earth
Sing praise to Him alone.
God rules the nations; God is seated
On His holy throne.
Praises sing! Sing your praises unto God! Sing His praise!
Lift your voices and sing praises to our King!
 
The princes and the nobles of the
Nations now draw nigh
As people of the God
Of Abraham, they unify
For this world’s shields belong to God,
He is exalted high!
Praises sing! Sing your praises unto God! Sing His praise!
Lift your voices and sing praises to our King!

Numbers 33

I believe in God the Father Almighty,
Maker of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ,
His only-begotten Son, our Lord,
Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, dead, and buried.
He descended into hades.
The third day He rose again from the dead.
He ascended into heaven and sits
at the right hand of God the Father Almighty.
From there He shall come to judge
the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting.
Amen.

O LORD, You are the righteous One
Just judgments come from You
Your testimonies You command
In righteousness and truth

My zeal consumes me utterly
Your words my foes have shunned
Because Your words are very pure
Your servant loves each one

Though I am lowly and despised
Your laws I’ll not forget
Eternal is Your righteousness
In Your law truth is set

Though grief and trouble come to me
Your law is my delight
Your laws forever righteous are
 Through wisdom give me life

The first noel earth and Heaven embraced
As a virgin beheld her new born babe
From realms on high to a manger on earth
Salvation had dawned in a lowly birth

Born is the King of Israel

The Son of God in kindness He came
As a friend to the hopeless the lost and the lame
Our sins He bore yet His name we despised
And the hands that brought healing
Were pierced as He died

The Author of Life there lifeless He lay
As the grave cast its shadow and darkness reigned
Then out of death broke forth a great light
As He rose up in victory the Glorious Christ

Now let us all with one accord
Bring praises to our King
All glory power and honor be
Forever unto Him

O come all you unfaithful
Come weak and unstable
Come know you are not alone

O come barren and waiting ones
Weary of praying
Come see what your God has done

Christ is born, Christ is born
Christ is born for you

O come bitter and broken
Come with fears unspoken
Come taste of His perfect love

O come guilty and hiding ones
There is no need to run
See what your God has done

He's the Lamb who was given slain for our pardon
His promise is peace for those who believe
He's the Lamb who was given slain for our pardon
His promise is peace for those who believe

So come though you have nothing
Come He is the offering
Come see what your God has done

Luke 17:20-25

Child of mercy, child of peace,
Jesus, Bread of life, food to fill our longing.
Child of justice, child of light,
Jesus, saving cup, Emmanuel, God with us.

All who walk in darkness have seen a great light,
To those who dwell in fear, a light has shone!

Refrain

A child is born to us, a son is given us,
Upon his shoulder glory rests!

Refrain
(Ladies: "Glo-ri-a! In Excelsis Deo! Glo-ri-a! In Excelsis De-o!")

We name him: "Wonder, couns'lor, hero, mighty God,"
The Holy One for ever: Prince of peace!

We proclaim good news to you, great tidings of joy:
To you is born a saviour: Christ the Lord!
